推荐型号：Kindle入门版、Kindle Paperwhite 3、Kindle Oasis
 
Although a large number of people have started to read e-books, recognizing the advantages of e-books such as easy to carry and purchase, and preferential prices, e-book readers are not the mainstream carrier of e-books, and more people still tend to use smartphones or tablets. However, compared with the bulkiness of tablet computers and the inconvenience of reading smartphone screens, e-book readers are thin and easy to carry, and the characteristics of the electronic ink screen they use are closer to that of paper, which has attracted many loyal fans.
 
Kindle is an e-book reader brand launched by the American Internet giant Amazon, in the history of the development of e-book readers, the first generation of Kindle appeared 3 years later than Sony's industry's first electronic ink screen reader, but with excellent product design and Amazon's rich book resources, Kindle is a latecomer, firmly occupying 65% of the market share of e-readers, just like its name, igniting the raging fire of the e-book market.
 
Over the past decade, Kindle has evolved into its eighth generation, featuring four different price options: the Kindle Starter Edition, the Kindle Paperwhite 3, the Kindle Voyage and the Kindle Oasis, to meet different market needs. Both the Kindle Starter and the Kindle Paperwhite 3 offer great value for money, with the latter being superior in terms of performance, while the Oasis is the flagship product and the most comprehensive Kindle reader.
 
"Slow page turning and residual image" is a point that Kindle is often criticized, in fact, due to the characteristics of the electronic ink screen, this is a defect that most e-book readers cannot avoid. To improve this, the new Kindle Oasis has been upgraded with the industry's top Freescale processor and Carta display configuration, which improves the refresh speed while effectively controlling the residual image problem, and the metal body is generous and textured. In terms of design, the Oasis is the thinnest Kindle in the past, its 7-inch screen is larger than the Paperwhite, but it is lighter, and the asymmetrical design allows the center of gravity of the body to naturally fall in the palm of the hand when the user holds the machine to read, so as to bring a more comfortable grip. This product received the highest score in the PCmag review.
 
Oasis is also known for its high water and compression resistance, which is rare in e-book readers, and compared to most products with exposed screens, Oasis's ink screen is protected by a layer of glass and has passed the water test to meet the IPX8 waterproof standard. Compared to a single touchscreen, the physical keys can provide the feeling of flipping without the discomfort of multiple finger swipes, and the Oasis is the only one of the Kindle staples to have physical physical keys, which is ideal for one-handed use. In terms of page turning speed, Oasis has received the highest score in the US Consumer Reports, in addition, the 180-degree automatic rotation screen fully takes care of the reading habits of left-handed people, and the rechargeable case greatly improves the battery life, and many other ingenious designs.
 
It's worth noting that almost all e-book reading manufacturers claim that their products can last for weeks under certain reading conditions, but this is inevitably suspected of exaggeration, and the Oasis is no exception.
 
Compared with Oasis,Paperwhite3Light leakage is more serious,But it avoids the "yin and yang screen" phenomenon that may occur on Voyage,Compared with the previous generation of products,The new generation of Paperwhite3 has been upgraded in running memory and screen pixels,The authoritative website the verge gave Paperwhite3 a high score of 9.0,While its high-resolution display is highly appreciated,It also believes that the lack of adaptive lighting adjustment is the defect of this product, And The Wirecutter named it the best eBook reader of 2018.
 
Compared to Paperwhite, the Kindle Starter Edition has the same 512MB running memory and 4GB storage memory, but the number of pixels per inch is lower, only 167ppi, theoretically, the higher the number of pixels per inch, the closer the reading effect is to the real paper, and the less burden on the eyes, but when actually reading e-books purchased from official channels, the visual difference is not large, and when reading PDF files, this gap becomes significant. Like its predecessor, the entry-level version is made of matte plastic, which is more difficult to grip than a rubber-coated case, and the rounded corners of the edges reduce the inconvenience of this defect. The lack of a backlight is also a disadvantage for the entry-level version, but it's not unacceptable for its 558 yuan pricing. This product is especially suitable for students, and the smart book recommendation and word prompt functions are very useful.
 
It should be pointed out that format support is a weak point of Kindle, the above products do not support the reading of EPUB files, for this widely used format, users need to convert separately, and the poor display of PDF files of Kindle products is also an important reason why many people do not choose to buy.
 
Kindle's focus is on a series of services launched around Amazon, including monthly subscription services and PRIME membership services. In addition to a well-established service system, Kindle is also known for its reliable quality control, and according to a survey of 16,000 users conducted by Consumer Reports in the United States, Kindle has the fewest serious problems compared to Kobo and NOOK.
